Applicator device for applying a fluid or paste product to keratin fibres

Abstract

The application relates to an applicator device for applying a fluid and/or paste product to keratin fibres, including a core and a plurality of protuberances connected directly or indirectly to the core, these protuberances being arranged along a surface, the shape of which corresponds to the surface defined by the keratin fibres intended to receive said product.

1 . An applicator device for applying a fluid and/or paste product to keratin fibers, including a core and a plurality of protuberances connected directly or indirectly to the core, the protuberances being arranged along a surface the shape of which corresponds to the surface defined by the keratin fibers intended to receive said product. 
     
     
         2 . The applicator device as claimed in  claim 1  including at least one flexible arch connected at at least one of its ends to the core, the flexible arch supporting a plurality of the protuberances. 
     
     
         3 . The applicator device as claimed in  claim 2  including two flexible arches disposed on respective opposite sides of the core. 
     
     
         4 . The applicator device as claimed in  claim 1  including at least one groove formed in the core and extending along a length of the core. 
     
     
         5 . The applicator device as claimed in  claim 4  in which at least some of the protuberances are disposed at the edge of the groove. 
     
     
         6 . The applicator device as claimed in  claim 1  made in one piece by injection molding a plastic material. 
     
     
         7 . The applicator device as claimed in  claim 6  in which said plastic material includes portions of different hardness. 
     
     
         8 . The applicator device as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the applicator device includes at least one flexible arch connected at at least one of its ends to the core, this flexible arch supporting a plurality of the protuberances, wherein the at least one flexible arch and the protuberances have a hardness lower than that of the core.
